Not at launch is how they phrased it. So it might come later.

"Halo Infinite will revolve around a "season" philosophy of regular updates, each lasting "about three months." Staten says that his team is "targeting" a campaign co-op launch with Infinite's second season, followed by another delayed feature coming in the game's third season: the "Forge" customization suite."

Halo as a live service I guess.

I can't fathom playing Halo not in coop, tbh.
I'll probably wait it out then.

so its the co-op campaign coming three (more like 6 :teehee) months after launch, i'm pretty sure the article i read the other day said it was the full (single player and co-op) campaign coming later and it would be multiplayer only at launch  :confused

Too late now.  :doge
Although i'm sad to find out that Ninja Gaiden Black & 2 aren't on GP. :fbm
And JSRF isn't on the damn thing at all.

I mostly bought it to get rid of the ps4 before it's too late, and to have an alternate access to GP games when i can't get on the PC.

Played some Unpacked, it feels like the videogame version of an adult coloring book. I beat the first level and then deleted it.

Played about three hours of The Forgotten City, it's a Skyrim mod that was upgraded to full game but it's still very Elder Scrolls-y, just with most of the combat and RPG elements stripped out and only keeping the talking to people, doing side quests, and looting their chests when they're not watching. Except the gods are always watching.  👀 It's really cool, I'm going to finish it.

With Warhammer III don't you need to have I & II installed to have the full package experience?

I wonder if you have Warhammer I & II installed through steam if it'll work with III on Game Pass for what it needs.

Played some Skate 3 with Gamepass on Series S.

Skate 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games of all time, and this plays just as well, but the map is surprisingly bland both visually and structurally.
I would like them to return to that grounded feel Skate 1 had, without the comedy bullshit (which i get, it's part of Skater culture apparently).

Anyway, the game is fun as usual otherwise, even though it just feels less polished.
For example every single time i need to clear some obstacle for a challenge, a crowd starts to form directly in front of the line, like mindless zombies, they spawn and occlude the space making it impossible to complete.
Difficulty also feels kind of all over the place, but that's not as big of a deal, as long as you can just dick around and your own thing.

Also continued a bit of Scarlet Nexus, but my opinion is more or less the same: skip all dialog, fun combat, a bit repetitive so far.

Oh yeah, and Quick Resume is really neat (when it doesn't bug out).
Granted having to wait 40 seconds to start a game isn't a big deal in the first place, but instantly jumping back to Scarlet when a challenge in Skate got too frustrating, was something i wouldn't have expected to enjoy, but did.
Granted i probably wouldn't use it with a more serious game.

Anyone tried xcloud?

Thinking about upping my sub to ultimate for 1 month. Going out of town next week and if I can transfer my FH5 PC save and play FH5 on Xcloud on a tablet w/dual shock 4 while on a trip that'd be cool. Otherwise will just be playing SMTV/Metroid Dread on the Switch I'm taking and Fantasian Pt.2 on my ipad. This of course only works if my save file is account/cloud-based.

I finally got so pissed off with trying and failing for the umpteenth time to nab a ps5 via Walmarts shitty online setup that in angry defiance I’ve purchased a Series S.  It’s my first bawks ever and I gotta say, goddamn does the controller for this one feel great.

Grabbed Rare Replay, and as an rpg fan am thinking of getting Lost Odyssey and Fable 2.  I already used my free trial of gamepass on pc but will still likely renew that at some point, any other recommendations that play nicely with the S?

Edit: it’s taking some real getting used to with the button conventions in menus, working against my multiple decades of Nintendo controllering.

Well I subbed to game pass ultimate for $1 and tried out the xcloud. It's cool and my FH5 save even carries over.

...but the lag is way too extreme for a racing game. Hell I tried a bunch of stuff and anything that requires moving and coordination (fps/platformer/racer/fighting/action) isn't gonna fly and this is on my top-notch wifi. Good luck on a hotel's shitty wifi.

I guess I can play walking sims/turn-based stuff (cards/rpgs/srpgs). But probably won't use it and will unsub to ultimate.

Im planning on giving it a shot tonight, I am interested in how bad the lag is gonna be... I am planning on using it for walking sims, RPGs. But will see if its even playable  :P

The dream is dead, JSRF never ever. :fbm

I wonder if it was because of the music licensing, or the (allegedly) spaghetti code.
Up to SEGA now to do a proper remaster, like they had for JSR.

oh right, this is what you were talking about. did you figure out it's not available in nz? or are you talking about just streaming a game over wifi from your box? because xcloud doesnt work here. there's no azure servers in nz (though coming soon to a datacentre in akl)

Yeah a lot of the 80s references are cool. I dug the mentions of Prince and Blue Velvet.

I got the 1k, was a nice game with a good story. It's kinda an observation on the lives of common people, how mundane most things are, and how seemingly minor events can be really impactful to some people and so on. The dating and romance was cute. Solid voice acting for an indie game, main character is likable. Great gamepass game to rip through in the holidays

This Gorogoa thing should be fun for the achievement hunters as well. Took me like 90 minutes to play through the game. You can mop up all the achievements in a second run, since you already know the solutions to the puzzles by that point.
